The title of the exhibition is 'Wanderer Ship'. Wanderer Ship was one of the last known ships that brought African slaves illegally to the United States in 1858. This group exhibition will tell view points about African American experiences from Slavery to the Civil Rights Movement to Obamas Presidency and beyond. 'Wanderer Ship' will tell stories of life and death, narratives and records of past events of former times and conditions, remembering about the past and looking forward to a brighter future. The artists interpret former, present or future times thru their eyes, experiences and prejudices, expanding them in all directions with their creative minds.
